Effective aggression is the second thing that judges look at. Aggression is only counted if it leads to successful attempts to end the fight. Finally, controlling the fighting area is taken into account assuming that both effective striking and grappling as well as effective aggression is equal.
This is defined by who is dictating not only the location of the fight, but also the pace. Because this is the last thing that is considered, many people see fighters that surge forward with heavy swings and assume that, because they are trying to end the fight, that they must be winning. However, if the aggressive fighter is absorbing strikes — however minor — their missed strikes will not tilt the scales in their favor. An example of this is Zabit Magomedsharipov vs Kyle Bochniak, wherein Kyle crashed forward repeatedly and was picked apart, eventually losing by decision despite his tenacity.
With these rules in mind, the last thing to understand is that fights in the UFC are judged on a system. This means that, in most cases, the fighter that won the round is given ten points and the fighter that lost is awarded nine. These figures can be changed through damage dealt or through fouls. The rarest score that can be awarded is This score indicates that the fighters were equal on every level, with neither having an advantage and neither having fouled their opponent badly enough to warrant a point deduction.
The most common score is a round. This suggests that one fighter had an advantage over the other, but did not come close to ending the fight during the round nor were they excessively dominant. A round shows that one fighter was dominant in the round to the point of nearly finishing the fight, with that dominance being shown by the losing fighter continuously defending without trying or without being able to strike back or advance their position when grappling.
The fact that they don't currently use monitors is downright baffling to me. Why would you deny technology that would greatly help the legitimacy of your sport and organization? It's almost as ridiculous as baseball blackballing instant replay for so long because it would "ruin the sanctity of the game.
No, it wouldn't. It would ensure that the right call gets made, which is what everyone wants in the end, not some overarching ideology that their sport is pure because it retains its archaic ways of being played.
If technology is available and it will improve the sport, then it needs to be used. End of story. The current scoring criteria for the point must scoring system includes clean strikes, effective grappling, control and effective aggression. None of the four are more important than the others, leading to a rather confusing way of scoring a bout.
If one fighter wins striking and aggression but the other wins grappling and control who wins the round? To more effectively score the bouts state MMA commissions need to adopt two of the judging guidelines from the former PRIDE Fighting Championships: attempts to finish the fight by KO or submission and damage inflicted.
Both of these would ensure that the fighter who was truly more dominant or who was closer to finishing the fight would receive the nod in the end. They would also need to place those two above the other four criteria, making close finishes and overall damage more important than takedowns and control. This would force wrestlers to adapt from simply implementing a suffocating top control to one that involves submissions and ground n' pound.
It alleviates the current cry from fans denouncing wrestlers and makes sure the fighter who was actively trying to finish the fight walks away as the winner. The final piece of the puzzle is Dana White and athletic commissioners everywhere embracing and encouraging the use of and rounds. With the use of and rounds, draws would increase, but I think that's a fine trade-off for more accurate scoring that reflects the action in the cage.
Too often dramatically different rounds are both scored as Going back to Jackson vs. Machida, there is no way that round one or two was equal in dominance for Jackson as round three was for Machida. While Machida didn't have a third round, a simple in either of the first two rounds would have accomplished the same thing. How UFC fights are scored can be a mystery to some.
So, I decided to explain how the UFC scoring system works. UFC fights are scored based on a ten-point must system. Three judges score each round separately, giving 10 points to the winner of the round and 9 or less 8 or very rarely 7 based on how dominant one fighter was in a particular round. The round can also go , but it is very uncommon. Each of the three judges adds together their scores from each round and gets the final score.
There are three different scorecards, one for every judge. Based on the three scorecards we have, how is the winner decided?
